Description
Replace a series of low voltage remote control light switches with a GE low voltage surface mounted 3 switch plate unit. This is a great solution when you have the original GE RA13 base and vintage mini push switches that are sitting on the surface of your plaster or cement walls. Each of the three switches has two buttons in a housing that replicate the functionality of your vintage switches rockers where you push one side to turn lights on then the other to turn them back off.
GE HAS DISCONTINUED THE SWITCHES. WE RECOMMEND THE TRIGGER SWITCHES AND DESPARD PLATES AS AN ALTERNATIVE.
